Not that it's really that applicable to this discussion, but Miles Davis actually opened up for the Dead during one of their tours, either late 60s or early 70s. all of the GD guys were fans, and from what I remember reading, MDavis blew them off the stage.

Hardly surprising.

T/S: Mickey Hart vs. Tony Willams wouldn't be much of a thread (or substitute Jack DeJohnnette depending on when)

hahaha. actually i've warmed to the dead's drummers over the years (esp. bill k.) but TW or JdeJ w/one hand tied behind his back...

Anthem is a good one. So differant than the other studio albums
I'm a huge Dead fan
You must pick up some of the Dick's Picks volumes. Volumes 4, 19, 28, 29 are great ones off the top of my head.

Wow, "Other One" is so, like, trippy at the end! And the math-rock part is really awesome too -- "Comin', Comin', Com-in-a-round (comin' around) com-in-a-round (comin around)"

Ah, it's tough to think of some Dick's Picks that aren't good (except for the Richmond '85 DP). I've always loved DP 12 and whichever is the 4-disc Boston '73, where the first disc begins w/ a Morning Dew and the last disc ends w/ a Morning Dew.

bill k. was always my favorite GD drummer - thought his style mixed perfectly w/ their style in the early 70s. There isn't anything ostensibly wrong w/ Micky Hart, but man, he's one cheesy d00d.

There's no better album for a rainy day than this IMO

two years pass...

Ugh, the Lesh 1971 mix is pretty bad, glad I never heard that version first.
